/sɪˈmæntɪkəli/ adv

In the manner of or referring to semantics.

Word Origin From Greek 'sēma' meaning a sign or mark. 'Semantic' relates to meaning, because words are signs that signify things. 'Semantically' means in terms of meaning. The root also gives us 'semaphore' (sign bearer) and 'semiotics' (the study of signs). The breakdown seman+tic+al+ly shows the layers: the root 'seman-,' adjective suffix -tic, then -al, then -ly.
